This may be my favourite book of...not just this year, but the entire decade...where to begin?

Never has such an entertaining volume passed before my eyes. Never has such fabulously helpful hand-drawn diagrammatic elucidation accompanied so straightforward a text. Not even the great American cinematic overnarration could vy for comparison. Never has such unabashed bias and self-referential citation been so repetetively reinforced by first-name patrons, "Barry" and "Willard" and "Hale" for added punch. Never has such emphatic persuasion been so jovially expressed. I wouldn't be surprised if this man turned any dissenters INTO garden manure, but he'd do so with a smile and apologise, "well, if you'd only been more amenable to my theories...". Friends, I'm convinced. I'm going to go and procure myself some wood-ash for the half-dead basil plant I "rescued" from the yellow label section of Tesco last Thursday, just as soon as I've finished writing this review. This man was ahead of his time...

I cannot recommend it enough: this book has got it all, the intrigue, the adventure...this book never fails to make my cry in a coffee shop over the author's sweet love for the wood ashes, or choke down hysterical laughter at his fervour...you didn't know manure could be this entertaining. Modern literature, I decry you! Take heed, academics, novellists, journalists- THIS is the kind of writing we all want to be reading.
